. Keldor’s alarm went off this morning at the wrong point in my sleep cycle, and I didn't want to get up. But I didn't want to miss our morning phone call as he drives to work, either, so I got up, and, as we chatted I put away a couple of things and dealt with the washer that I had started on an 8-hour delay before heading to bed. After he went to work I sat at the computer and started working myself, but by 09:00 I was too sleepy to keep my eyes open, so I went back to bed, and slept for the better part of an hour. Then I made some Spegetti squash and green sauce for lunch and returned to work. Just as I figured out what I should be doing Keldor called. Since I can't focus on work while chatting I moved to the couch with some frozen berry mousse for desert, and two hours later I hadn't convinced myself to get off the couch and resume working. Like I haven't really recovered from driving the car north (I haven't). Then I fell asleep on the couch for 15 minutes, till Keldor called on his way home from work. That woke me enough to go get another bowl of squash and green sauce as we talked. Which gave me the energy to brush Kali, who had been asking for attention. (Keldor, in the mran time, got home and went out to mow the lawn.) Then I headed to the cellar and got out the roll of wet room wall paper to measure it for the new bathroom wall in the basement. But then I couldn't find the folding measuring stick, and came up stairs to see if one was here. By then Keldor had finished the lawn and was relaxing on the couch, and he said he has no idea where it was. So I sat down next to him and read a book before updating this. The wallpaper cam wait for tomorrow.
